Ch. 12 To Unlock The Basic Points

Paskha had been lying in his room, but he could not sleep even though he could no longer hear the wolf's howling. He knew that Lord Gale alone could conquer the wolf even though he couldn't kill it. After all, the two-headed demon wolf was a tens of thousands of year-old soul beast, and its strength barely matched that of a Great master. Lord Gale was a great master, but facing the ferocious soul beasts would also drain his mana.

If getting help from Sir Clove's surging fluid and deeply wound the wolf, he was sure that even the strongest beast would run away.

Paskha closed his eyes as he recalled his fierce battle with this two-headed demon wolf in his previous life.

At that time, he led several people to hunt soul beasts so they could take the beast's fangs or horns to make their weapons. They accidentally crossed paths with this two-headed wolf, instantly becoming prey targets for that domineering beast.

At that time, the wolf had reached the gold stage while Paskha was still a gold master and not yet a general. Viewed from any angle, Paskha and his party were like ducks ready to be roasted in front of the demon.

If his master had not sensed he was in danger and had rushed to his aid, he would have become tender meat to the wolf.

Hhhh… He wished he had never met that soul beast again. Who would have thought… a demonic wolf appeared when he was little. Why?

Paskha shook his head to get rid of this issue and assumed it was only a coincidence. He focused again on fulfilling Sir Clove's requirements to become the older man's disciple.

For the children who had performed the emergence ritual, which unlocked the soul type within their bodies, they obtained permission to enter the opening hall.

In this hall, young children who had the potential to become soul masters unlocked three foundational points. These three points were the backbone, the center of the body's system; the heart, the center point for blood flow; and the brain, which was the command system for all muscle nerves.

If these three points were not unlocked, no mana particles could enter their bodies, no matter how hard they practiced.

As Sir Clove said, although these three points were only essential and did not include the other six major points, it was challenging to open them alone.

One must meditate in a room filled with heavy gravitational fields to break through these three points. And only the opening hall had an adjustable gravity field that could be controlled according to needs.

To open a base point, one must meditate within the field for at least two hours. Then he would be given a two-hour rest period before contemplating again to open the second point.

But considering the physical body of a seven-year-old child, let alone sitting for only five minutes, feeling the pressure of one-level gravity for one minute will make the child beg to get out.

The pressure of the gravity level that must be passed was two-level lower than their innate mana tier. If one had seventh-grade innate mana, he had to meditate in the field of the fifth level.

But for the first experiment, the children will be asked to accustom their bodies to be in a gravitational field for half an hour daily with a gravity level of one. They could raise the level once they survive in the lowest pressure level until they can hold on to the minimum level.

On average, a normal kid could only unlock his three essential points for one month to three months. If he were lazy and didn't want to feel pain, he would delay the opening ritual until age eight or nine, when their physical body is strong enough to handle the pressure.

Of course, the results would differ from those who open the base point early. The more early, they were one step further in the cultivation world.

While other children would begin training inside the opening hall, intending to unlock the foundational points one by one, Paskha had a very different objective. He would unlock his three points in a row without stopping like he did in the past.

The only people who managed to do this in the past were Sir Clove and the Eternal Master of the northern kingdom. They unlocked three points within two weeks and opened all three in a row without a break.

The results given were, of course, very different. Once the first point was open, one had only five hours to open the next one. Otherwise, the first point would be closed again.

But no young child could meditate for six hours straight, so the higher-ups gave the kid a two-hour break to eat and gather his stamina before continuing meditation.

However, these two hours were long enough to reduce the restriction on the flow of mana that could be received at the first point. The result would reach its peak if one can open all three points in a row without rest.

These three points would be able to absorb three to five times more spirit energy than those who opened them individually. Even if he had past life memories, Paskha believed he couldn't achieve what he wanted in his current state.

Starting tomorrow morning, he would begin to train his stamina and physical strength.

And that's what he did. Early in the morning, Paskha went to the kitchen, where several cooks started preparing breakfast for the children sleeping in this boardinghouse.

"Little Paskha, why did you wake up so early?"

"I want to practice to unlock my three foundational points."

"Oh, you started training in the opening hall? But it's still not open at this time, right?"

"I'll start by training my physical strength by running in the morning. Is there any dish I can eat?"

"Hm… let me see." One of the cooks checked his cooking and smiled with satisfaction when he found one portion that had been made. "Fortunately, it was finished in time. Meat soup with herbs from hundreds of years old soul plants. This will improve your physique and fill your stomach for the next few hours."

"Thank you very much."

Paskha billowed hot steam from the soup, and after making sure it was not too hot for him, he devoured it all. Then he came out of the kitchen and chose a quiet place to sit cross-legged as he waited for a moment to control the flow of his soul force.

A few minutes later, his eyes opened, and he was ready to do his first physical exercise.
